Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 154 Friends come first

The snow outside was thin and not nearly as deep as the snow in the north was. So far the best thing about being a lady was being able to go outside when she wanted and not being afraid that someone was going to scream at her for it. She used to sneak out for a bit of fresh air and have nightmares about being caught for it. The one time she was caught, she was marked by the man she now spends most of her nights with. Funny how she swore her life would never be what it has become. 1 Her blood was boiling. The chilly temperatures were nothing on her heated skin. Too many emotions tried to come forward but all she wanted to do was forget them all and try to imagine she had nothing to weigh down her shoulders. What would it be like to walk out of the palace and forget everyone behind her? Would they think she was selfish, or smart? Would they look for her and not rest until she was found, or would they let her go? “Ay! What are you doing out here?” À familiar voice called from behind her. She heard thick steps stomp across the snow and a moment later, a thick cloak fell across her shoulders to ward away any of the cold she didn’t feel.

like that! I’ve had enough of that lately. I don’t need another foolish prince around me.” Doris sighed. “I didn’t know I was going to be his lady. Trust me, I would have told you if I did.” Daniel laughed. “So what? He surprised you with the title? I’m pretty sure the lady has to agree to. it.” Daniel eyed her long dress. “You look different, but just as stunning. I would even say that attire was made for you.” “Did you come out here just to flirt with me?” “Oh no. William would string me up by my guts if I did a thing like that. Promise not to tell him | gave you my heart.” Daniel winked. Doris rolled her eyes but she couldn’t hide her smile. When Daniel held

I’m not sure where to start. I think the Luna Queen has doubled up on her guards. She no longer goes anywhere without at least five.” Doris raised her brows. “Truly? Why do you think?” “I’m not sure… I think she’s making the palace on edge with her ruling. My brother Martin must be too upset about our dad to notice but she’s been slowly changing things around here. First, I was told it started with shift changes, and then it went into bigger things like meetings and controlling some of the villages. Whenever come around, the servants look more and more as if they’re ready to burn the palace to the ground.” “Surely that can’t be true!” “Haven’t you noticed how unhappy they all are? Look around, they’re all meaner and rougher. about everything.” Daniel glanced back at the palace as if he was afraid one of them might have heard him. “I have noticed. It’s like a dark cloud has fallen over the palace since we left.” Doris glanced back at the palace as well and never had it

Doris did love winter, but it always took away the most beautiful parts of life snd froze it to the core. Still, it shined through with a new sort of beauty that flourished in it’s white coat. “Do you…” Doris hesitated. “Do you think Prince Martin will make a great king one day?” Doris asked quietly and watched for his reactiòn. Daniel’s wandering attention snapped to her all at once. She instantly regretted asking. “I’m not sure yet. I don’t think he’s been challenged enough to become a king, but he could learn | suppose.” Daniel seated himself next to her and watched as light bits of snow fell from the sky. “T hope he will make a great king, one day..
